Forewincf with apex minutely produced, termen more oblique than in the 

 allies ; whitish ochreous or whitish brown, irrorated with blackish grey ; costal 

 margin somewhat darkened ; antemedian line almost entirely obsolete, a distinct 

 dark dot sometimes remaining on SM- : cell-dot small, sometimes obsolete ; post- 

 median line blackish, shaded at edges with ferruginous, from costa close to apex, 

 oblique to hindmargin little beyond middle, at costa somewhat thickened, accom- 

 panied by slight, dark apical shading ; a row of terminal dark dots ; distal part 



of fringe darkened from apex aliout to M-. Ilindwing with termen bent at W ; 



the S sexual tuft on inner margin well developed, black ; coloration as on forewing, 

 only the costal area whiter ; postmedian line continued as antemedian, but obsolete 

 anteriorly to SC'' ; a row of ill-defined blackish-grey spots sometimes developed in 

 distal area, parallel with termen ; terminal dots as on forewing ; fringe all light. 



Underside similar, the line without ferruginous shade, costal area of hindwing 

 not pale, the costal margin itself, on the contrary, rather heavily dark-spotted. 



Uganda: S.E. Budda, Tero Forest, 3800 ft., September 29-30, 1911 (S. A.

Very distinct in its large size, elongate forewing, bent hindwing, black sexual

Belongs to Section H. of Callioratis (Hampson, Ann. S. Afr. Mits. iii. 417),
